Nanshan Pasture | Walking in the Clouds
Nanshan Pasture🐄 | Walking in the Clouds☁️
"Seeking peace and happiness has always been my ideal. Only by crossing mountains and seas did I discover this paradise." 😌😊
During the National Day, I drove to Nanshan Pasture in Shaoyang Chengbu, the largest pasture in China. Stepping on the road to the scenic area, the scenery in front of me is beautiful, as if in a fairyland. Along the way, there are beautiful sceneries everywhere where you can stop and take pictures, it is simply a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 😍
On weekends, it's really appropriate to choose to relax here. There are fewer people in the scenic area, which is particularly quiet, as if you have the exclusive secret of the whole mountain and wild. Don't miss this golden moment, because once the grass turns yellow, you have to wait another half a year. 🍂
It is worth mentioning that the best viewing period of Nanshan Pasture is from May to September, and the scenery during this period is particularly charming. So, if you don't have to work, why not come here to breathe fresh air and feel the beauty of nature? 🚗💨 Not only can you relax your body and mind, but also fill your breath gap. 😌😃
If you haven't been to Shaoyang Nanshan Ranch, go quickly! It's like a mini Sichuan in Hunan
People should stay in places without ceilings
Shaoyang Chengbu Nanshan Ranch
It takes 3.5-4 hours to get there from Guilin, the closest place to the sky. The entrance fee for tourists from other places is 70 per person, free for children under 14, and half price for locals in Hunan, 35 per person.
Accommodation & Dining
There are quite a few homestays and hotels on the mountain, and the prices are relatively friendly. The food is also relatively concentrated, all on one street, so it's convenient to stay in a hotel. You can also camp overnight. In fact, you can set up tents and tents everywhere in the ranch, but if you want a good view, they are generally under the wind machine, where the terrain is relatively flat. However, the fog and wind are very strong at night, and you can still wear skirts during the day in this season, but you need to wear down jackets when you stay outdoors overnight, so check the weather in advance.
📸 Dayakou Sunrise Viewing Platform
An excellent place to watch the sunrise
📸 Wind Power Viewing Platform
Actually, the view from each wind machine platform is not bad. If you don't have enough time, you don't necessarily have to go to this viewing platform. I like the wind machine platform at the entrance the most. The parking place is wide and the road is not bad, mainly because the view is okay.
📸 Maoping Lake
The internet says it's the largest alpine lake in Nanshan Ranch, but when we went there, it might have been the dry season, so the scenery was average. The scenery on the road is actually better, and you can take pictures anywhere on a mountain with no one!
📸 Ziyang Peak
I personally think it's the most worth checking in. The lonely tree is really good for taking pictures. You can reach the top of Nanshan in ten minutes by climbing the stairs. The view is super good, unobstructed, and you can see the sunrise and sunset. You can also experience milking, grass sliding, carrot pulling, horse riding, horse riding 70 per person one way, 120 per person round trip, two people can ride a horse. It's most suitable to take children!
It turns out that there are also alpine meadows in the south
Nanshan Ranch, a unique alpine meadow in the south, but few people know about it, even most of the locals in Shaoyang have only heard of it, but have never been there~
Brave people enjoy the world first
Even if it's just a little bit of courage
The mountain at an altitude of 1,700 meters, the breeze blowing the corners of the clothes
Clouds cast changing light and shadow on the vast grassland
The vast clouds close at hand
Green as far as the eye can see
Crossing the mountains and wilderness, feeling the insignificance of oneself
Not bothered by trivial matters, just focusing on every step under your feet
It's completely different from the monotonous life day after day
Although it's hard, it's fulfilling and joyful
This is a feeling of being alive
Eager to spend every day passionately and happily
Travel advice:
1. The daytime temperature is around 24-26 degrees, and the air-conditioned room can provide you with natural coolness, but the ultraviolet rays are strong, it is recommended to wear long clothes and trousers, and prepare for sun protection.
2. If you bring your own tent, it is recommended to bring a canopy, because the temperature difference between day and night is large, and not using a canopy may cause a lot of dew in the tent.
3. For self-driving, it is more suitable to choose SUVs or off-road vehicles and other high-chassis models, because some of the small roads leading to the top of the mountain are stone roads and have large pits, choosing high-chassis models can ensure smooth passage, allowing you to appreciate the beautiful scenery that others can hardly see.
